FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester microfleece, weighing 170g/m², which is brushed on both sides and treated to be antipilling.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This microfleece jacket provides moderate warmth and is best suited as a mid-layer or for milder conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it with a heavier insulating jacket.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart for men's apparel. The jacket has an extended back and adjustable hem for a better fit, but selecting the correct chest and waist measurements is crucial.
Can the reflective elements be washed?
Yes, the reflective tape and panels are designed to withstand washing. However, follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding high heat in the dryer, to maintain their effectiveness.
What is the difference between the Black and Blue color options?
The color options refer to the base color of the jacket. Both variants feature high-vis panels and reflective elements for increased visibility, as described in the product details.
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, this model does not feature a hood. It has a fleece-lined collar for warmth.
What type of zipper does it have?
The jacket features a one-way plastic zipper closure with an inner wind flap for added protection against the elements.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper path. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Fleece is pilling or becoming fuzzy
While designed to be antipilling, excessive friction or harsh washing can contribute to pilling. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Reflective tape appears damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying, as this can degrade the reflective material. If the tape is significantly damaged, its reflective properties will be compromised.
